“Rooms on the ground floor are smaller and have limited natural light” (Awr100)

Mar 29, 2015

“Room particularly facing the street have better view.” (cezaryfree)

Jan 12, 2015

“Definitely avoid the rooms on the second floor just off of the bar area. We did not stay in them, but it was clear that there was less privacy and more noise here. While sitting at the bar, we saw room service delivered to one of those rooms and could see straight into the room. Otherwise, I was happy with our other room. Very quiet (but I am not sensitive to these things)!” (ColoradoNeil)

“Rooms at the inner first floor are quieter.” (tereq2014)

“All rooms I saw on the ground floor were comfortable. Room 101 is smaller than the others and a bit cramped.” (cpant52)

“I stayed in a room with only a small high window above the bed. But was quiet and dark - conducive for sleeping.” (elissao544)

“Let ryan know what sort of experience you are after and he will hook you up!” (83hamzahz)

What really stands out are the management and staff, who are friendly, accommodating and go out of their way to address your requests. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well furnished. Rooms on...

Stayed for several nights in October 2014. Was a walk in the first night and they were very accommodating. The staff is fantastic, the breakfast spread is reasonable, with hot and cold options and some things made to order. Our room was a bit small, but otherwise no complaints.

I stayed at Discovery Inn four times during 2014 for a total of about 7 weeks. Ryan and the staff made my stays pleasurable, remembering me by name each time and looking after my needs. They even do small things, like organise for my trousers to be fixed at a tailor. The service is what most makes this hotel an...

Excellent, mid- size boutique hotel in quite yet central location. Very friendly, welcoming and efficient staff at the reception. Comfortable clean and well designed room with fridge/tv/ac. Pleasant terrace and bar. Great restaurant serving varieties of dishes Indian, Indonesian and Western ( I loved curries and fish). Good and free of charge wi-fi. Pleasant ambiance.

My first trip to Timor-Leste (on business from Darwin, NT) and the team at the Discovery Inn made the trip a great experience. No detail overlooked: happy, friendly staff, generous with their time and assistance from minor matters such as my running out of business cards and the use of staples and sellotape for running repairs to files and folders...

We recently visited Dili for the first time and were not sure what to expect from our hotel or the trip. We booked Discovery Inn after reading reviews of the many different hotels. This hotel, all of its staff, the restaurant and service were above any expectations we may have had.
I requested they collect us from the airport as...

My wife and I stayed at the Discovery Inn for three nights. In fact, my first compliment relates to this. We used the Discovery Inn as a base camp as we moved around Timor-Leste. We stayed the night we arrived, went to Atauro Island for three nights, another night at Discovery, went to Hato Builico/Ramelau for one night, and then...

This is my second visit to East Timor and for both times, I stayed at Discovery Inn. There are other big hotels now in Dili, but our team decided to stick to this hotel.

This was my second trip to Dili. I had stayed there earlier in 2010. It is an excellent choice. The most striking aspect is the hospitality of the staff. Without exception, they were warm, friendly, smiling, always willing to do anything to make my stay comfortable, and efficient in their job. Right from the airport pick up when the driver...
